He stared intently at Lin Ci, who was not far away.
This man, who had followed him all the way and always wore a kind smile, was...
He hid it so well.
He was actually a magician.
Valon's anger was completely extinguished by this power of despair.
Lin Ci is right.
With such an enemy around, they really can't protect these twelve talismans.
Valon let out a long sigh, his tense body finally relaxing completely.
"You win, Lin Ci."
"Take the talisman with you."
Lin Ci remained silent.
He simply strode over to Valon at a leisurely pace.
He did nothing but stare down at Valon from his high vantage point.
That calm gaze sent chills down Valon's spine.
"What...what else do you want to do..."
Valon's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Could it be... that you're going to kill me?"
Chapter 11 And I believe you, boss.
Lin Ci slowly extended his right hand, palm down, and aimed it at Valon's head.
Valon gasped.
He realized that he would probably not escape death today.
He didn't feel much fear.
I regret that I haven't become the richest person in the world yet.
It was a pity that his three foolish but incredibly loyal subordinates would also have to perish with him.
Valon slowly closed his eyes, calmly awaiting death.
"Lin Ci, you can kill me."
His voice calmed down.
“But Rasu and his men are innocent. They were just my subordinates who followed my orders. Let them go.”
Lin Ci's palm fell swiftly without the slightest hesitation.
Valon was prepared to die.
There was a muffled thud.
Valon did not open his eyes.
Why don't I feel anything?
Had his head already been cut off?
Is this what death tastes like?
It was completely empty, devoid of any sensation.
But the next second, a force came from below, and his body began to rise gradually.
The hard soil softened and gently lifted him up.
Until he was completely out of the pit and standing on the ground again.
Valon suddenly opened his eyes.
He saw that Rasu, Afen, and Zhou had also been released from the earth by that invisible force.
At his feet lay the cloth bag that Lin Ci had used to store talismans.
Lin Ci stood in front of him, looking at him calmly.
Valon's mind was completely in turmoil.
"what do you mean?"
Lin Ci sighed again.
"Since you don't believe you can't protect the talisman, then let's give it a try."
Valon's expression froze; he simply couldn't believe his ears.
"You...you just gave me these talismans like that?"
Lin Ci shook his head.
"Conditional."
"After you are defeated by Jackie Chan again, you should realize that you can't hold onto these talismans."
"When the time comes, you can return these talismans to me."
Valon fell silent.
He stared intently at Lin Ci, as if trying to discern something from that calm face.
After a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Aren't you afraid I'll take the talisman and run away? Or... just use the power of the talisman to kill you?"
Lin Ci's face finally revealed that familiar smile again.
"Gentlemen's agreement".
"If you don't follow the rules, there's nothing I can do."
He looked into Valon's eyes and continued, word by word.
"But I believe in you."
After saying that, Lin Ci turned around and refused to look at them again.
He turned his back to the crowd and walked into the darkness beyond the ruins.
A light, airy address came from his lips and dissipated in the night wind.
Lin Ci's figure quickly disappeared.
Only Valon and his companions, looking completely bewildered, stood there dumbfounded.
After a long silence, it was Rasu who broke it first.
He scratched his head, a happy smile on his face.
"Brother Lin is our friend, isn't he?"
Valon laughed when he heard this.
The laughter carried a hint of self-deprecation, a hint of relief, and a touch of warmth from being trusted.
Since he still acknowledges me as his boss.
Still so confident in yourself.
If I disappoint him, how can I remain the leader?
"Afen, take the talisman."
Valon's voice regained its usual composure.
"let's go."
Zhou looked in the direction Lin Ci had left, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Boss, is Brother Lin... not coming back?"
Valon also looked into the darkness, his gaze deep.
"Probably not."
"But we'll meet again."
"Rasu said with a look of anticipation."
"I hope we can exchange contact information next time we meet."
Ah Fen picked up the cloth bag from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and a simple, honest smile appeared on his face.
"I've heard that Chinese people love to drink. Let's drink together when we meet again."
Valmont's lips curled up in a smile.
"Then hopefully by then we'll be rich."
"We can't let him treat us, otherwise we'll have no face to face this old friend."
The air was filled with an atmosphere of desolation and an inextinguishable heat.
Beneath the dark red sky lay an endless expanse of withered earth.
"It's time for Jackie Chan to pay the price!"
"I'm going to tear that clown Valmont to shreds!"
The Holy Lord's soul roared angrily in mid-air, its translucent body twisting violently with rage.
A gigantic fist, as large as a mountain, carrying immense force, slammed down beside the Holy Lord's soul.
The earthquake trembled, cracking open deep, bottomless ravines.
The massive body of the Earth Demon, Di Kui, slowly rose from the side, roaring in discontent.
"Your only future right now is to stay here and hang out with us!"
